Why is my computers download speed so slow? How can i fix it?

Question

I have DSL, my isp is AT&T i ran speed tests on several websites and the average DL rate is 550 kbps and UL 550 kbps +/-, I have a new Compaq Presario CQ50 that i received brand new today. When i download files the average DL speed is 58 kbps +/-, and my old sony with the same specs gave me a DL speed of up to 700 kbps. What can i do to speed up my download speed. BTW both of my computers are wirelessly connected to the internet.

Thanx in advance!

Answer 1

it could be settings of your wifi (if thats what you use to connect) or maybe your wifi does not support your modem. or could be problem with your wireless card
